Odd about those two folders that will not copy, however. Must be a permissions problem of some sort, I suspect.

( it could not copy 2 directories named Cuba and Tanzania, the usb drive will not accept directories with these names, or rename another to to them !!!HOW WEEEERED )

clicking on the "storage media" icon, brings up konqueror with an icon for the usb drive, I am able to copy to and from the drive, brining up the permissions/mounting indicates - mountpoint /media/hd , also mount automaticaly is ticked.looking at /media/hd just displays the /home/dave desktop icons !

I tried running the script while konqueror was open and accessing the drive, but with the same result.
